Troubleshooting
Tested for you in our cooking studio
Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings
for them. We show you which microwave power setting is best
suited to your dish. There are also tips about ovenware and
preparation methods.
Information regarding the tables
The following tables provide you with numerous options and
settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may
vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature
and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest
time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified
in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:
Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Always place the ovenware on the turntable.
Defrost
Notes
■
Place the frozen food in an open container on the turntable.
■
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty
outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of
aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the oven walls. You
can remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.
■
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry.
Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under
no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
■
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.
Large pieces of food should be turned several times.
■
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a
further 10 to 20 minutes so that the temperature is even
throughout. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this
point. The meat can still be further prepared, even if it has a
small frozen core.
